Gather info about slow startups

Have you ever wondered why your startup is slow? I assumed you noticed the new event viewer, but have you noticed the Applications and Services Logs, also try to turn on the View > Show Analytic and Debug Logs..

To our goal, have a look at slow startups.. Have a look at this log: Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\Diagnostics-Performance\Operational.

Have a look at the event id: 100 for Startup, 200 for Shutdown, 300 for Standby.

Open an event with event id 100 and it could look something like this:

You can clearly see that you this startup took 321482 ms just over 5 minutes. Press details too have a more detailed information about every step in the startup sequence. Too see what too longer time than usual have a look at the event with event id 101..

You could also try my PowerShell script that will gather the information and summarize it for you.

Share your findings with your friends
